I installed it in a quarter of an hour clock without any problems. While this might not be with him that I will play the "single file" to very heavy video games and very deadly ... But "with age", the taste of video games has really happened so no worries for me on that side!
As for me, no problem with W 8, especially if you want you may well give the appearance of the office W 7 (for fans). No big difference indeed between the two, apart from the presentation.
